- I rebuilt an electronic carb on a 82 Buick Century V6, which is
- probably similar to yours. They are "electronic" in the sense
- that there is a potentiometer that sends the throttle position,
- and the mixture needles are moved by a solenoid.
-
- They are not that difficult to rebuild, although any carb rebuild
- can be frustrating if you make a mistake and don't know what it
- is. You will have to make some of the adjustments without the
- tools mentioned in the directions. You can probably do this by
- carefully measuring everything settable on yours before you take
- it apart.
